Carnelian Family Dentistry

Carnelian Family Dentistry, referred to me by the Veterans Administration (VA) for my annual examination and cleaning, offers a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The office waiting area is clean, well-organized, and furnished with warm and comfortable chairs, creating a pleasant environment. The friendly and professional front desk staff ensures a smooth check-in and discharge process. The dental assistants, hygienists, and technicians are equally welcoming and courteous, providing excellent support and comfort throughout my visit. Dr. Tao, the dentist, is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He takes the time to explain each procedure clearly, making me feel comfortable and informed. During my routine visit, he detected an early-stage infection and referred me to Dr. Ho

I have used Dr. George Tao's services for many years and have been very pleased with his services. Not just his wisdom and experience, but also his craft and technique. I have probably seen close to 15-20 different dentists over my lifetime, and I can say he is one of the best in the industry. I have been to other offices that provided really poor service. Some were just "money grabs" and others left me feeling I went to a "butcher" instead of a dentist. Dr. Tao is kind, patient, and willing to spend additional time with you to make sure all of your questions are answered. The staff is also very friendly and professional.

​I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. George Tao as the finest dentist I have encountered. He is a truly one-of-a-kind professional who combines exceptional expertise with a deeply personal and sincere bedside manner. Dr. Tao excels at patient communication, taking the necessary time to explain all procedures and provide clear, well-considered opinions and advice. Facing a need for significant dental work, I especially appreciated his thoughtful approach: he developed a strategic, step-by-step treatment plan that was easy to understand and prevented me from feeling overwhelmed. His dedication to ethical practice is profoundly evident; he offered candid advice, even suggesting against a procedure I proposed, simply because he deemed it not worth the expense. This level of integrity, professionali

Dr. Ho-Yin Leung is a marvel for periodontal surgery as my experience on 2 separate occasions occurred without any discomfort or pain. Interestingly, the pills prescribed for post surgical pain were never used due to his precise surgical expertise and honed techniques. Adding to my praise of Carnelian Dental, Dr. Tao called the evening of both procedures to check on my post-op progress and pain threshold. Their team effort is second to none. If you have feared periodontal surgery, allay your fears and run, don't walk, to Carnelian Dental. Make an appointment with Dr. Leung for consultation with follow-up surgery. Your elimination of fear from seeking surgical improvements in oral care is your first step toward an improved future of dental health.

I was a patient at this dentist office for about 2 years and Dr. Tao wasn't a very knowledgeable dentist. He kept on saying, "you need a root canal, you need a root canal" and couldnt properly diagnose my teeth pain issues correctly. Plus they don't offer PFM crowns that my insurance covered, because of his arrogance, and the staff not properly presenting co pay fees, I had to change my dentist to a dental group that actually covers PFM crowns and properly and honestly shows me a printed co pay of fees that matched my schedule of fees from my insurance.
